Answer:

Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is 0.99999.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of n = 9 structural elements is tested for comprehensive strength. We know the true mean comprehensive strength μ = 5500 psi and the standard deviation is σ = 100 psi.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\bar X<u><em> = sample mean comprehensive strength</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                          Z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean comprehensive strength = 5500 psi

            \sigma = standard deviation = 100 psi

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is given by = P(\bar X > 4985 psi)

    P(\bar X > 4985 psi) = P( \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{4985-5500}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{9} } } ) = P(Z > -15.45) = P(Z < 15.45)

                                                                  = <u>0.99999</u>

<em>Since in the z table the highest critical value of x for which a probability area is given is x = 4.40 which is 0.99999, so we assume that our required probability will be equal to 0.99999.</em>

the radius of the distance between the middle point of the circle and the outside, we have the diameter which is 6 so the <u>radius will be 3</u>

slant height is

\sqrt{r^2+h^2}

h is 4.7 and r is 3

\sqrt{3^2+4.71^2} \\5.58427

<u>slant height is 5.58427</u>

lateral surface area

\pi r\sqrt{h^2+r^2}

\pi (3)\sqrt{4.71^2+3^2} \\52.63053

<u>lateral surface area is 52.63053</u>

total surface area

\pi r(r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2})

\pi 3(3+\sqrt{4.71^2+3^2})

80.90486

Suppose that at a state college, a random sample of 41 students is drawn, and each of the 41 students in the sample is asked to
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The  confidence interval for 90% confidence would be narrower than the 95% confidence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  sample size is n = 41

   

For a 95% confidence the level of significance is  \alpha  = [100 - 95]\% =  0.05 and

the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2}  is   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} }=  1.96

For a 90% confidence the level of significance is  \alpha  = [100 - 90]\% =  0.10 and

the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2}  is   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.10 }{2} }=  1.645

So we see with decreasing confidence level the critical value  decrease

Now the margin of error is mathematically represented as

         E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

given that other values are constant and only Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } is varying we have that

         E\ \  \alpha \ \   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }

Hence for  reducing confidence level the margin of error will be reducing

  The  confidence interval is mathematically represented as

        \= x  - E  <  \mu <  \= x  + E

Now looking at the above formula and information that we have deduced so far we can infer that as the confidence level reduces , the critical value  reduces, the margin of error  reduces and the confidence interval becomes narrower
